JUSThink
JUSThink project aims to improve the computational thinking skills of children, by exercising algorithmic reasoning with and through graphs, where graphs are posed as a way to represent, reason with and solve a problem. It targets at fostering children’s understanding of abstract graphs through a collaborative problem-solving task mediated by a humanoid robot (QTrobot).
Our goal is to build intelligent autonomous social robots that can promote children’s learning by assisting teachers through complementary activities; by equipping the robot with:
- the ability to understand engaging behaviors of students that are conducive to learning and provide suggestions accordingly: lead by Jauwairia Nasir
- mutual understanding skills so that the robot can “put itself in the child’s shoes”: lead by Utku Norman
This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 765955 (the ANIMATAS Project).
